Pop-up | Create New Point (Model window) |
Manually digitize a new point in the reference model.
Points can be based on real-world coordinates using ground units or on an alignment using chains and offsets. For more information about points, see Points.
When digitizing features manually, it is recommended that you have at least one background map open and that you are zoomed in sufficiently to effectively use it as a reference.
